I found the website relatively good with the most important details included in the profile. Using search / filters functionality, I was quickly able to narrow down the search to ~50 candidates. Then based on profiles I contacted ~30, got positive replies and scheduled calls with ~12. Anna was our winner based on her experience, level of English and a cultural / personality match. She was eager to start the process ASAP, so we are now prepping all of the documents for her visa application and can't wait to have her here!

Living with my host family has been a truly wonderful experience. From the very beginning, I have felt welcomed, supported, and cared for in a way that makes me feel completely at home. Their warmth, understanding, and open communication have created a safe and comfortable environment where I can be myself. They treat me not just as an au pair, but as a part of their family. I appreciate how they include me in daily life, whether it’s sharing meals, conversations, or laughs with the children. They are always encouraging, and I feel that my efforts with the kids are genuinely valued and respected. One of the most special parts of this experience is how much they care about cultural exchange. We often talk about our different traditions, and they show real interest in learning about mine. In return, I’m grateful to be learning about their way of life and participating in it. Their trust and kindness mean so much to me, and I feel lucky to be part of such a thoughtful and loving household. This experience has made my journey abroad incredibly meaningful, and I look forward to creating more beautiful memories with them.

Great experience with Smriti. She handles kids well and kids absolutely love her. She also helps around the house when she can which is very helpful as a working mom.
